As you head into race week, remember this: Don't try anything new. That goes for food, gear, and any activity that hasn't been part of your training routine so far. Just stick with what works for you.

Make sure today's miles stay easy. We're tapering now, and running harder on the easy days won't help you. In fact, pretty much all the hard work is done. From here until the race, the work is getting to the race well rested.
